Appreciate your response, thank you. I had a look at what you provided. The "ai song generator" websites and these models aren't able to genre transfer with the exceptional quality of the linked youtube channel. These have in

At least on a team, the limit is the team's time to review all the code. We've also found that vibe engineered (or "supervised vibing" as I call it) code tends to have more issues in code review because of a false sense

I use a similar pattern but without the subagents. I get good results with it. I review and hand edit "research" and plans. I follow up and hand edit code changes. It makes me faster, especially in unfamiliar codebases. But the wr

The wording is intentionally broader than just training. It encompasses training and anything else they want to do with your data in the name of "maintain and improve our services". Safe to assume they will use your data for prett

A little off topic, but I don't know much about greedy algorithms or dynamic programming. I got curious. This conversation was very insightful and now it's very clear in my mind: https://chatgpt.com/share/68c4

It's different. Yes you can be a good writer or musician and convey whatever emotion you want. But if you have truly experienced that emotion or experience and unflinchingly hone your writing to convey the true experience of it, it sho

Now we're getting somewhere. I think there's more than just supervision involved though. The ideas, direction and design are also provided by the person driving and reviewing output from the agents.

You're not just hitting go and reviewing code though. If someone asked how I built a side project and I said "reviewing code" it would make no sense.

Great article, though I'm still reading it as it's a mammoth read! A side note: as it's been painfully pointed out to me, "vibe coding" means not reading the code (ever!). We need a term for coding with LLMs exclusi

This is the key to getting decent feature work out of Claude Code. I've had good success recently using GPT-5 High (in Cursor) to write the plan, then take that to Claude Code to implement. You can get an extra 15-20% out of it if you

I'll give you that - you can't vibe code, not look at the output, and push to main of a production codebase. Same as writing code normally. But you can vibe code and auto-edit your way to a good PR. But you're reviewing the c

What about "check if the user is right"? For thinking or agentic modes this might work. For example, when someone here inevitably tells me this isn't feasible, I'm going to investigate if they are right before responding
